Absolute Swamp Thing by Alan Moore Vol. 1

Product Information

Ha sido a raíz de recibir este tomo como regalo por Reyes que me despertó la curiosidad -sobre todo esa portada tan bonita que tiene esta edición-. So yeah, up until now, I've managed to not read Saga of the Swamp Thing, cause you can only read it once, and I'm fast running out of Alan Moore things to read for the first time.

Nunca me había llamado la atención este personaje, ni siquiera tras escuchar que Alan Moore lo había trabajado; me causaba bastante indiferencia.And just like I was saying on my last Swamp Thing review, it’s mighty hard to put a new spin onto something that you didn’t create. These issues where Constantine has become a supporting character to swamp thing has reminded me why John is so beloved. En cuanto al apartado artístico, tiene ese característico estilo clásico que contrasta el negro con colores semi-planos, exceptuando en la portada del tomo y en algunas otras portadas. As one of the medium's most important innovators since the early 1980s, Moore has influenced an entire generation of comics creators, and his work continues to inspire an ever-growing audience.

The art is far more consistent here, without Shawn Macmanus' unfortunate stylistic difference being a little too jarring to meld with the other artistic luminaries.This is a timeless supernatural horror story, yet its psychedelic mysticism, humor and love give it hope. The last thing I should mention is that this is the first appearance of John Constantine and it makes a lot of sense why Jamie Delano’s first run of the character is so terrible. I think that this book made DC great again and led them to make a ballsy imprint like Vertigo Comics shortly after.
